We randomly swabbed the internal part of the face hole of five different therapy beds, from five different private clinics across Australia.
All swabs were sent to an independent lab for analysis.
Here’s what the lab found on the swabs:

Four out of five beds were using the paper-based head sheets that you’ve probably seen a hundred times before — they have either an x-cut or a cut-out circle in the middle for a client's face. Neither of these options fully cover the inner surface of the face hole, where a client may cough, spit or salivate during therapy. And, if you’ve had any kind of therapy before, you know paper-based head sheets can move and tear during treatment.

Scar tissue is a dynamic, living structure shaped by biochemistry, tissue mechanics and the quality of care throughout recovery. This blog outlines how targeted clinical nutrition supports collagen formation and inflammation control, how early manual therapy helps guide healthy fibre alignment, and how modern modalities such as IASTM and myofascial cupping use shear and decompression to restore mobility in restrictive scars.
